So I'm gonna make a list of things that frustrates me:

I hate that I can't find a job in my field; I graduated from college that I financed myself last may with a freaking 4.0 while working two jobs in order to "better myself" but guess what? It's almost a year later and I can't get into grad school and I'm still working those two same crappy jobs, only now for more hours; is paying the rent really worth it when you work 75 hours a week?! I mean, I'm never even there :flare:

I hate the wars

I hate the plight of the women from the congo, how I can do nothing to stop it except send money which i don't have

That's pretty much it for right now, but isn't that enough? ]]> Cellar Door https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?7628-Frustration https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?6397-Lovely-Bookcases Thu, 25 Sep 2008 21:59:27 GMT I, like the rest of you, I assume, have a ridiculous, incredible amount of books.

Anyway, I just moved out of an apartment on which every wall had a built in bookcase. The whole thing was filled with books. It was lovely. But I digress- I moved to a duplex with NO BOOKCASES. I am chronically broke- don't read this too closely, you may catch it *COUGH COUGH*- so cannot buy any.

Now the real story sets in. My well-meaning aunt has a widower friend. His wife was an avid reader, god rest her bibliophilic soul, and he wants to give me her cases!

I know what you're thinking- JACKPOT! In addition, he wants to give me any of her books I want. I got some lovely books, but that is not the point.

The point is I got the cases home and they are falling apart, mildewy, spider web covered, and horrid. I spent 4 hours scrubbing them with Murphy's oil soap, and some mildew remains. Alas! I may be defeated! Never let it be said that fortune does not have a cost. (The cost, for those who are afraid to catch my chronic illness and may not have been paying attention, is scrubbing away mildew)... *SIGH ]]> Cellar Door https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?6397-Lovely-Bookcases https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?6386-Tomorrow-Yesterday-and-Today Tue, 23 Sep 2008 17:28:57 GMT Several never lever sever likeness simple sorrow told tomorrow cold until the morning light...

saw a mouse behind the stove

winked at me whiskers twitching

heard the rhythmic ticking on
and on
of salvation

but it's just my clock

next to the tattered newspaper on the chair

fallen from the wall

fallen just like me

fallen from grace ]]> Cellar Door https://www.online-literature.com/forums/entry.php?6380-I-am-Fallen
